I have recently dug out an old box of Zip disks and my old Zip 100 drive. The drive powers up plugged in to my iMac Retina but does not appear in the sidebar as mounted.

Disk Utility goes wonky with it connected showing a perpetual 'loading disks' message when I start it but I was able to recover files (a System 8.6 update to be exact ) with Data Rescue 4 from an inserted Zip disk. My question: Is there an available driver for this device that will allow me read/write to the disks under Mac OS X 10.x? As an alternative, how might I go about erasing the many Zip disks I have so I can sell off or give the the whole shebang to a suitable retro Mac user?

Iomega's Zip 250MB USB External Drive (with included 250MB zip disk!) boasts a sleek design that doesn't disappoint performance-wise. For those of us with iMacs, it's a joy to use: just plug it into the keyboard and back-up files FAST.

I'll offer a suggestion. It will cost you nothing to try it. Do this (in the order presented): 1. Power down -- all the way off (leave ZIP drive connected).

Microsoft projects for mac. Project Plan 365 for Mac Unlike the competition, Project Plan 365 for Mac is the only app made for Apple computers that can open Microsoft's native file format for MS Project plans. That's right, Project Plan 365 for Mac can open the.mpp file format with no conversions or cumbersome imports using dubious file exchanges. Microsoft project for mac free download - Parallels Desktop for Mac, Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.3 Update, Apple Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and many more programs. I currently own the MacBook Pro, and a number of years ago had the Macintosh Notebook with the Microsoft Project for Macintosh software installed on it. I still have the 'Project 3.0 AE Single User Mac license card' and the cartages, (the old version of todays disks.) My MacBook only takes today's disks. There are some workarounds to use Microsoft Project on a Mac, like using an emulator or virtual machine to run Windows applications, like Parallels or VMWare (for more information on running Microsoft Project on a Mac, check out these 5 ways to run Windows on Mac).

Have a ZIP disk 'halfway inserted' into the drive 3a. Now -- power on, and IMMEDIATELY (or as quickly as possible) 3b. Push ZIP disk all the way in, and then. Hold down the option key on the keyboard (keep holding it until the startup manager appears) 4. You should now see your internal drive.

Click on it with the mouse pointer and hit return. The Mac should boot. When you get to the finder, do you see the ZIP disk on the desktop? WHY I asked that you do this: Every Mac-formatted ZIP disk has a copy of the 'on-disk driver' on it. When you boot with the option key held down, this instructs the Mac to 'scan all connected drives' to look for bootable copies of the OS. Even though the ZIP disk doesn't have a copy of the OS on it, the Mac should scan the USB bus, and load the on-disk driver. Once loaded, the driver should remain loaded until the Mac is shut down or restarted.

Does this work? It -used to work- some years back. Aside: Back in the days of the Classic Mac OS, there was a utility called SCSI Probe that would 'scan the bus' while running, and load drivers and drives where found.

Too bad there's no USB equivalent of that now. I'll offer a suggestion. It will cost you nothing to try it. Convert itunes to windows media player. Do this (in the order presented): 1. Power down -- all the way off (leave ZIP drive connected). Have a ZIP disk 'halfway inserted' into the drive 3a.

Clearly the Mac was reading (or trying to read) info from the disk because I could hear the drive spinning it and the indicator was flashing but an image does not mount and as I said before Disk Utility hangs when the drive is connected. The fact that the app Data Rescue 4 was able to recover files suggests to me that there should be a way to mount the volume. I would like to find a home for the drive and the many Zip disks I have at the very least but I at least need a way to erase them before giving them up. Did you ever figure out how to get your Zip disks to mount? I'm having a similar problem. I'm using a USB external Zip 250 drive, and trying without success to mount 3 Zip disks, all 100 MB, all Mac formatted. I've tried hooking the drive up to two different macs, one running High Sierra, the other running El Capitan.
